Equipment

  • 1 breadmaker for a two-pound loaf
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush to brush bread with butter after baking
  • 1 electric knife preferred, or a sharp bread knife to slice bread
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk or soured milk
  • 3 tbsp. walnut oil or use avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup bread flour NOT all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole rolled oats
  • 1 cup walnuts finely diced (measure after chopping)
  • 2 tsp. yeast
  • 4 tsp. vital wheat gluten

Instructions
 

  • Place ingredients in bread canister in order listed.
  • Bake on whole wheat setting.
  • Allow bread to rest 15 minutes before removing from breadmaker.
  • Invert bread and brush top and sides with butter to prevent crust from hardening.
  • Allow bread to rest 15 more minutes before slicing down.
  • About 12-14 slices.

Notes

NOTE: To sour milk for buttermilk, measure milk into a glass measuring cup. Add 2-3 tablespoons of white vinegar. Allow to sit out for about 5 minutes before using in recipe.
 
 
NOTE: It is not advisable to use all-purpose flour in bread recipes. It doesn't contain enough gluten which hinders the raising process, and it tends to cause the bread to be dry and crumbly.
 
 
NOTE: Homemade bread needs to be refrigerated after a couple of days since it has no preservatives. Otherwise, it will get moldy.
 
 
NOTE: If you are unable to locate walnut oil, avocado oil is a good alternative. Olive oil will be too strong for this recipe.
 
 
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
